Mid-Term Goals

I can't believe that it is already mid-term for the semester. Only 6 weeks left of school and then it is on to bigger and better things, hopefully, if Jared finds a job soon. This has been a good semester so far. I enjoy my classes for the most part, but I love love love my water aerobics and swimming class. I haven't lost any weight (which I am really sad/mad about), but I have saved myself about 20 million heart beats this year. Pretty much is you manage to get your heart beat/pulse down 5 bpm, you save 5 million heart beats per year. I went from 88 bpm down to about mid-high 60's bpm. I am super stoked, and yes I was super out of shape. But I am working on it. Now all I need to do is get Jared to start working out, then we should be good.

My goal by the end of this semester is to lose at least 5 pounds, preferably 10 pounds. On top of my water aerobics and swimming classes, I am going to start hitting the gym and do some weight lifting and running/elliptical as well as some classes. We shall see though. I recently found out that my mother-in-law has lost 25 pounds, which I am totally proud of her. She has been running/walking everyday. She has been my motivator for me to pick up my slack. If she is going to be looking good this Christmas, then so am I, lol!

6 months and finally finished!!!

So its been about 6 months I have finally finished my cross-stitching baby blanket. It took so long but I have finally finished, you don't know how big of a relief that was; definitely the biggest project I have done in a long while. I had such a blast making this. I am going to be putting a back to it made out of that new minkee fabric (the yellow swath is what I have picked out) and then put a satin binding along the edges, I picked a light green.

So the blanket up top is for our little girl (in the future). Below, I have already pick the blanket that I wanna do for our little boy (in the future). The fabric swath's are the colors that I would like to do that backing, but I think it would be fun to do like a giraffe print or zebra print that went with it. I couldnt find a picture of any.

Now all I need to do is finish up my blanket and start on the second.
